  1. cmon lets see the inside of the poopy house, what a lame azz report.

  2. This makes me sick 😡😤😡

  3. The headline creates, for me, a sense of despair and anguish. The charges against these monsters won't ever be justice for those innocent animals. I cannot listen to the report, I am sorry, I am sure it is thorough and well presented.

  4. No jail… Public shaming and caning

  5. What on earth. They should have that child taken away. Can't imagine the mental trauma. Poor puppers.

  6. I love dogs I live for the love of my animals. But I have watch animal cops and pitbulls and parolees my whole life and I always say the same thing
    " I will sooner shot myself in the foot before I do that to a dog"
    There need to be a law that says people like them shouldn't be able to have animals or children.

  7. This is happening across the country, shelters are overcrowded with dogs and they are killing them

  8. That guy looks like he's loaded with fleas in his mugshot 🤢

  9. I bet it smelled terrible around that area.

  10. They should not regain custody of their child let alone dogs. They created a house of horror for their child and those tortured animal.

  11. animal abusers are scum of the earth

  12. Need to put him in a cage for about the rest of his life

  13. Omg. But why murder the dogs?

  14. Make the people who did this suffer really bad with no food or water!!! 🤬🤬 Poor dogs and child 🥺💔🙏

  15. That poor kid that had to be traumatic ‼️

  16. “How can someone do this to a child and animal? I’m an animal lover.”

    Um…what about the kid?

  17. Punishment should match the crime!

  18. Put the couple in the smallest jail cells you can find and don't feed them. Ever.

  19. pretty dumb neighbors who didn't know smell what's goin on.

  20. Disgusting barbarians. Lock them in a cage and let them starve to death

  21. Lock them up and give them as much jail time possible their unfit for society .

  22. Thats new jersey for ya

  23. This makes me so angry 😡

  24. this makes me so mad, why didnt someone call sooner, those poor animals. That is so sad.
